Skiing at Högbo Bruk: temp -8C, heavy snowfall.
Went there to get the opportunity to try some new tracks for a change and hopefully also meet the US Ski-O gang.
Left home a bit too late so I just missed them finishing their races. Kept an eye open at the arena for a while to see if I could find them, but then went out skiing on my own. Apparently may have missed them coming back after my ski too :(
The first third of the 15KM track was OK, but the snow kept falling so eventually what had been a relatively easy outing became harder and harder due to the snowy tracks and the ice/snow stuck under my skis. Had to stop and scrape my skis a couple of times and also for some "refueling".
The second half was extremely slow particularly when I came to the last hilly part in the end. Shower and sauna before starting the snowy drive home again.

Skiing in Gyllbergen with Birgit, temp -6C. More snow overnight and still snowing heavily in the morning so we cancelled the trip to Högbo for a closer ski area. First time on the regular ski tracks in Gyllbergen this season: Älgsjön-Dragberget-Pensionärsleden.
A few cars in the parking lot and maybe 5-6 other skiers out ahead of us, so conditions were very slow with all the new-fallen snow and soft tracks. This is not my favourite type of skiing so it was VERY slow and sluggish most of the way and mentally hard.

2 x Igeltjärnsvägen in Bergebo with headlamp, temp -2C. One other skier out there that I could see - it was Friday night after all - and the heavy snowfall in the daytime had made the tracks very soft. Slow on the gradual uphill going out and a bit faster on the way back - almost exactly the same time on both laps. Feeling OK overall even if it was slow.
Had planned to go to Högbo but a mixture of logistical problems forced me to change my mind and go skiing at home instead.
